| Name | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bumpslash Combat | Combat System | Angeline Era's signature fight system. There is no attack button: damage happens when Tets drives into an enemy, so the important inputs are direction, angle and timing. | Core combat system, taught from the opening levels |
| Poise and Bullet-Hell Patterns | Combat System | Contact combat is layered with read-and-answer pressure. | Boss and enemy design across the campaign |
| Unmarked Overworld | Exploration System | Era has no quest markers, no map pins and no level list. | Core exploration loop |
| Scales | Collection System | The magical Scales are the campaign's objective and its collectible. | Story objective and collectible |
| Hidden First-Person Levels | Level Type | Some of the secrets behind the world map do not open into more top-down action. | Secret levels found through overworld discovery |
| Weapon Refinement | Progression System | Named weapons can be pushed a step further with found parts and artefacts, which is why community loadouts list the bumpsword, rapier and Flann's Dagger with a +1 mark. | Upgrades found in levels |
| Boss Rush | Challenge Mode | A separate mode that chains the game's boss fights back to back, with its own scoring rules that the community has documented. | Unlocked challenge mode |
| Difficulty and Inferno Escalation | Difficulty System | The campaign runs on a Normal baseline with harder settings above it, including the Melos's Trick ruleset used for the boss rush. | Options menu and in-level events |
